National Diamond Insert. Not Approved by the Comics Code Authority. It's a Drug Issue. I was new to the phenomena that are "inserts!" I was excited to buy it raw and have it graded in my early days. I like this copy because I feel "National Diamond Inserts" are "rarer" than Mark Jeweler Inserts in my opinion. The "Goblin?!?" I could have guessed, but I'd have been wrong, when the problem is sometimes internal showing outwardly. Still, the Goblins in life will face frustrations until restitution, especially for any friend's sake. Take down the Goblins, face front, you're bigger than they are; although, it definitely will never feel like it. The Goblin in this issue may think more highly than he ought, of himself. Not always an ego, sometimes it does feed the beast. Sometimes the humble are exalted and the proud brought low, such is the balance between good and evil!
Complete with a back cover picture of the prescreen pass before released to theaters of, "Miss Bala!" Another movie about the Cartel that makes escaping the drug issues sit up and take notice, we have to learn our lessons quickly. Some may only learn by personal experience.
Grader Notes:
""National Diamond Sales"" insert;
light spine roll;
moderate soiling back cover;
multiple crease top of front cover.

1st appearance of the Punisher (Frank Castle) and the Jackal. Signature Series by Stan Lee. Mark Jeweler insert and one of the first 4 books I got signed on 6/4/16. I dropped them all off at the Fan Expo Dallas 2016, which was my first bigger comic con. A 3.0, but with white pages. Many years from now, I hope mine is still as unique as it is today, no matter the grade! A great story, as the Punisher thinks Spidey is the bad guy. At the behest of a character named the "Jackal" there is seemingly information that is being fed to the Punisher, to get him to try to take the Amazing Spider-man down. Fast on his feet, Spidey escapes the bullet meant for him, among rooftops and talks some smack! Not to be out done the book wraps up as a plan foiled, but maybe foiled for another day, which means coming to terms with new enemies and friends.
Complete with a back cover picture of the ongoing adventures involving the Punisher, in gallery statue form. Hoping always to protect, and yet casualties happen, all in a day's work! Some grim exiles to last see the Punisher before their demise! Such a dynamic personality that spoke to the times. $467 Cost.
Grader Notes:
insert/poster;
light creasing to cover;
light staining to cover;
moderate tears to cover;
moderate wear full right of front cover;
small piece out right bottom of back cover;
tape residue interior spine.

1st appearance of Tarantula. MARK JEWELER!!! This is #134, along with #129 And #135, THUS IS MY PUNISHER MARK JEWELER RUN. This run came together fairly easily. I walked into a local comic shop, Keith's Comics and this was available. I traded some novelty Convention edition comics for it, was about the year of 2017, and they were some Batman Adventures reprints with foil like covers. Still some $$ change though! I had an inkling early on to pick up this run in Mark Jeweler, as this was the first "run" I tried to put together. 2nd app although a cameo of the Punisher, some secrets get out too. Pushing an Osborn over the edge is nothing new, it is definitely something to keep an eye out for! Changing into your super-hero persona is not always as easy, even with a spider-sense. Poor Parker, sometimes the circumstances faced are accidental, yet they are impacting.
Complete with a back cover picture of the prescreen pass before released to theaters of, "Isn't It Romantic!" A date night movie that takes place in New York City, showing the carless ways we go on dates, and with Mary Jane and company here on a boat at the same type of location, it could have turned into a romantic comedy. Peter has a knack for solving the problems of troubled villains, and "isn't it romantic!" Pressing Candidate
Grader Notes:
insert/poster;
light soiling back cover;
light spine stress lines to cover;
very light creasing to cover.

MARK JEWELER!! This is the end, beautiful friend #135, along with #129 & #134... THUS IS MY PUNISHER MARK JEWELER RUN. An Awesome Run that means the world to me. I set a goal to complete, and I did! As it was very early on when I got back into collecting and set this goal, around 2016, and I had decided to collect comics full speed, I was Super Excited! I didn't have to break the bank, and somehow found them all in a very short amount of time! I still have a raw of this book to read, and this is technically the 2nd full appearance of the Punisher, Frank Castle. Keeping with the times and newcomers, the Amazing Spider-man is staying with the twists. Who could it be other than Peter Parker? Somehow still keeping his wits. Will it luck out for him again? Spider-senses are tingling! How can all this swell in the plot and not have a final outcome? Hang on web-slingers, it's going to be a close one.
Complete with a back cover picture of the prescreen pass before released to theaters of, "Ticket to Paradise!" George and Julia are your Peter and Mary, that can take simple love and turn this, continued from issue #134, "Date Night" into punching a ticket for adventure. Peter Parker has almost punched the secret double life ticket that will make love more complicated, and that to him would be paradise! If he can maintain the Love, and that IS THE Ticket!
Grader Notes:
Full Right Front Cover Multiple Crease Breaks Color;
Right Bottom Front Cover Tear;
Spine Multiple Bend Breaks Color.
